buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.
i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.
Yes the way I see it, is if someone is spending $60/month on 3-5 creators that’s still more money going to “the arts” than if the same person spent double that on streaming services.
🤝 I download new music to check if I like it, and if I do then go over to Qobuz and buy it DRM-free and download the flac file, which is my flac file. Happy to support the musicians.
In this anti-subscription context, it’s nice, but for me the main point of physicals is reselling. GOG just like Steam and others benefits from the fact you can’t get your money back, and you have to buy from them.
Ah that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.
I’m converting to physicals now that I realised, I’m probably never going to replay 90% of my games.
I’m planning to sell most of my 3DS games because I didn’t like them enough to replay besides two, yet enjoyed them enough/know what the deal is when people discuss them that buying was worth it. Now I can hopefully get half of my cash back (and I already bought them used!) once I find the time and energy to look for buyers. Don’t know how much pawn shops take.
You might even try to buy new games and just sell them after finishing (unless you love them), but I have enough of a backlog already…
Definitely ok. They key element is being DRM free which means you own that media, not just a limited license to use it. I’m not aware of anyone selling DRM free movies or TV tho.

Exactly. We could crash it tomorrow if we just did this together. Each dollar you spend on it is a “yes” vote.
